Bought a pair of 3/4 tights for the early stages of pregnancy as I couldn't find any pregnancy-specific good quality (or any, actually) padded shorts - all designed for spinning at best. I thought it was worth it if I could still use these on my gravel bike until maybe 5 months... I'm now just over 8 months pregnant and they still fit and are comfortable, the waist doesn't cut, dig or itch, there's enough stretch and still opaque. I couldn't be happier with them! The customer service and responsiveness while I was trying to figure out whether they would work was superb.
